Oh yeah, and 0. A rumour about one game maybe being localized to another country.

Obviously as I am not staff, you are free to ignore and dismiss my opinion, but polluting the front-page with "generalized" gaming news takes away from site's core: promoting the console hacking community. Going down this road just turns the front-page into a (much) worse Joystiq or Destructoid.

I can understand how Costello would be under the misconception that branching out is "always good," however in the case of a properties' (GBAtemp's) identity, this is just dilution. You need to put more emphasis on the homebrew and hacking community, rather than less. That is what gives GBAtemp value.
